'Elm Street' director Bayer for 'Tumor'?

A Nightmare On Elm Street helmer Sam Bayer is reportedly attached to direct a film adaptation of the graphic novel Tumor.

Coming Soon says that the movie will be made by Red Crown with Life As We Know It producer Barry Josephson on board.

Tumor follows protagonist Frank Armstrong who goes on a mission to save a girl despite being only days from death due to a terminal brain tumour.

Bayer directed the recent A Nightmare On Elm Street remake starring Jackie Earle Haley, but is more widely recognized as a music video director, having worked with bands such as Green Day, Marilyn Manson and The Stokes on a number of occasions.
